Healing Mission
I’ll end the year right here, with an image from the vestibule of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, from our November tour of Texas’s painted churches.
Today completes ten full years of daily photo posts. When I started, on January 1, 2009, my plan was to try to get through one year. I did, and had five followers at the end of the year. Yes! Five!! In spite of that less than impressive start, I stuck with it. I’m glad I did, and I hope you are, too.
Today is also a sad day, as it marks 14 years since my mom’s sudden death, so I am going to spend the day thinking about her.

Mrs. Robertson’s regular place
Mrs. Robertson seems to be very intent on having the same seat every time she attends Mass, doesn’t she?
Every now and then I’ll spot someone’s special cushion in a church (like this time in Mavillette, Nova Scotia), but this was the first time I’d noticed one that was labeled.

4×5 grid
I appreciated the simplicity of these church windows, with their simple 4×5 grid of windowpanes. And that stuff you can see at the bottom of the windows? It’s food, collected by the parishioners, for donation.

Mottled
That mottled sunlight looks pretty nice, all serene and stuff. But I was standing right in front of a formidable trap that was in use to catch feral hogs. Those hogs are gigantic and extremely destructive – it fact the earth all around this building was sort of plowed up by their foraging.
From the evidence – a single shell casing on the ground near the trap – I think the population was recently reduced by one, anyway.

Circle, with square
And so the church exploration continues, this time looking at the light through some lovely geometric stained glass windows.
(Sorry for the brief posts the past few days. Turns out that getting a flu shot would have been a grand idea. If you get my drift. But I am – perhaps – on the mend and shortly will return to the usual long-winded posts. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)
